Why shouldn't I want a game that can stand next to Metroid Prime as an amazing game? Both Zelda and Mario have managed to have iterations this generation that at least are comparable or better than their previous high benchmarks. Certainly after 4 years and maybe two different systems (with Retro knowing the entire time about the Switch), they should be able to put out such a masterpiece.  At this point with the length of silence, and like i mentioned before, the fact that they gave us 2D Donkey Kong instead of a brand new amazing 3D world, it's almost expected from them. Trust me, if what is released is anything short of stellar, the pitchforks will be coming.

Go on. I think it'll end up just being a good game. Although, since our difference in definition when it comes to stellar/masterpiece of work is apparent, let just say Tropical Freeze was already one. It just never got that recognition because of people like : ­­­'' MUH METROID ?!?''

Nothing from Retro's history suggests that you will be right.  Every title they have released has been an amazing game and a masterpiece, including the Donkey Kong 2D games.  When I'm referencing those Donley Kong games, I'm referring to fan perception, not quality of games. You can't deny, and in fact you even say it outright, that Retro fans wanted Metroid and they were disappointed not to get it.  All I'm saying is that I hope it is a game that both lives up to their expected pedigree, and at the same time is a game I really want to play.  Diddy Kong Racing probably isn't going to cut it for me and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in that opinion, regardless of how great of a game it could turn out to be.
